2015 Entry: **Dental Hygiene and Therapy Discussion**

Yeah I know it will be so stressful!! I would live there as well, my interview was 25th Feb, when was yours? X

Hi guys and girls, I emailed Kings yesterday to ask when letter are coming and if, unlike Eastman, they do actually reply to everyone.
Turns out all decisions for shortlisting have actually been made already!
Here is what they sent me:

"I would like to confirm that the application shortlisting process has now finished and we hope that outcome letters will be sent shortly and hopefully before the end of May. We do respond to all candidates that have applied even if the outcome was to be unsuccessful."

Aww really?! Your the first one iv spoken to that was planning on staying there! Hopefully we both get in from the reserve list eh! 25th March! Are you an A level student? X

Oh really? I live like 3 Hours from essex so I wouldn't be able to drive in. Yes hopefully we do, no I'm doing Access to higher education at the moment and I'm a dental nurse, what about yourself? x

Finally got my offer on ucas! Just accepted, who else is going to essex and knows anything about term dates

Where you from? I'm 2 1/2 hours away down in Coventry.
I'm a dental nurse with radiography, currently doing A level Biology and Oral health education. If I don't get in this year, in going to also do an access course so I can apply to all places! X

I live in eastbourne it's near Brighton on the coast. Oh how's the oral health education course, if I don't get in this year I'm gonna do that! Access is ok, just so much work so glad I'm coming to the end of it now x

Hi, everyone need advise -- Ive been rejected from all unis this yr thinking of doing an access to science course, is that a good idea? I know unis will probably consider those with good alevels... any help would be good

Hi, I don't know if this will help but I got rejected by all my unis last year when I only had a-levels. But instead of redoing my alevels or doing any courses I decided to get loads of work exp with dental hygienists and I got a job as a carer. For me it showed that I was a caring, patient and empathetic person which is what they often look for. The work exp just showed them I am super into what I'm applying for and understand what I'm getting myself in for. Also they know you're clever by looking at your a levels, maybe it's physical work exp you need?
This year my dream came true when I was accepted on to the dental hygiene course at Cardiff.
There are loads of different ways to get what you need to go on the course but it's what you take away from it that is really important. Hope that kind of helps xx
